I agree. Ostensibly, Sollozzo wants Tom to talk to to the Corleones and convince them to accommodate the drug deal and avoid a war. However, we know that Tom already favors the drug deal and recognizes just how vulnerable are the Corleones.

What I don't get is Sollozzo's line about "bad luck for you" if Tom doesn't make that deal.
